Google Calendar Web Events for Colorado Avalanche


After a lot of practice and some failed efforts, I've finally managed to convert the Colorado Avalanche season schedule from a standard calendar to web events. First of all, it saves a ton of real estate. The calendar is much less cluttered now. Second, it allows me to populate the events with dynamic data stored in a mysql database on my web server, making updates a snap. Also, it just looks cool to have the little Av's icon there instead of a big chunky block.

Yes, I know the season is almost over. Yes, I know the Av's have been nearly eliminated from post-season play, but imagine how nice this will be NEXT season!

Also, it goes without saying that this enhancement wouldn't have been possible without help. Early versions of web events for this calendar were published using Michael Bolin's Web Content Wizard. Thanks for the head start, Michael!
